Over 20 years ago, Jessica entered the natural skincare industry when she vowed to create a more non-toxic environment for her young family, but was shocked to find a complete lack of safe and natural skin and haircare products for babies. Starting in her kitchen with ingredients she sourced herself, she began to create the beloved formulas that became California Baby, now encompassing more than 80 products, a certified organic and FDA registered manufacturing operation, organic farm, major retail distribution and worldwide recognition. In October 2016, Jessica launched The Natural Advisory Council (NAC) in October 2016 to form a strong coalition of natural, organic and “green” product manufacturers, retailers, and non-profit consumer protection organizations to advocate, collaborate and educate (ACE) on the definition and use of the term, “natural” in all consumer products. Jessica is an active member of the Organic Trade Association and serves on a task force committee to recommend organic and safe cosmetics standards in the cosmetics industry. She also collaborates with leading groups and companies to initiate congressional action that will establish federal legislation demanding safe cosmetics and has participated in lobbying activities to help shape TSCA reform. California Baby is a certified Woman Owned Business.
